Dear Vladimir I,
I was a once pagan villager of the nomadic tribe of the Volga Bulgars, but now I would like to join your side, seeing the great opportunities that lie in your empire.After hearing stories of your great capitol of Kiev, and the grand city of Novgorod I could not resist the pull to join your nation.One of the main reasons that I would like to join is because of your religious acceptance, so unlike in my old tribe, I can worship my God without hiding in a cave so none of my tribe mates could find me.Another reason is because your empire has ties with the mighty Byzantine Empire, which adds a feel of safety when living in Kiev.And lastly, I could enjoy the splendors of life, instead of living a life of following herds, and settle down, and enjoy the riches of living in your Kingdom.I also hope to join your army so I can defend the Christian city ofConstantinople from the aggressive Muslims, and spread Christianity throughout Europe and Asia.
From,
Neuiev Festung
